A fair recommendation
You don’t need to understand the plans before starting. Kumizine reads the production needs of your finished project and recommends the lowest eligible tier.
Example recommendation
Its binding and output settings are covered by Studio.
No reason to pay for Pro for this project.
Production comparison
Creation and preview are shared. The commercial boundary is the output.

What am I paying for?
Kumizine doesn’t charge you just to explore an idea. Build, configure and preview the project first. A paid plan is required only when that project needs paid production or download capability.
“I can make the zine first, see that it works, and then decide whether producing it is worth paying for.”
Questions
Yes. You can create, configure, save and preview the full project. Payment only enters the journey when you request a production download.
Your single free project includes three lifetime template downloads with assembly instructions. Saves, edits and previews are unlimited. Failed exports do not use a download. Choose Studio or Pro when you need more.
Your project’s binding, sequencing and production requirements determine the lowest plan capable of producing it. We never recommend Pro when Studio is sufficient.
Yes. Studio and Pro are recurring subscriptions that can be cancelled at any time.
